Overview

Primary resection of tumor is one of the main prognostic factors in rhabdomyosarcoma. However, surgical resection of the rhabdomyosarcoma is often difficult or impossible because the tumor is usually embedded deep within the tissue, leaving it difficult to reach. Surgical tumor resection must contain complete tumor removal with performing safe margin resection. In case of narrow margins, several biopsies are needed to identify residual disease. If surgical excision could not be performed, 12 weeks chemotherapy is recommended. Assessment of lymph nodes are essential as well such as assessment of axillary and femoral lymph nodes in rhabdomyosarcoma of extremities.
